Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Your mind is a fickle friend.
Trust your gut and follow your heart!

Your mind holds the past, your body holds the present, your soul holds the future. Put another way, the mind analyses and remembers, the body experiences and feels, the soul observes and knows.

Nothing is more powerful than YOU!
Sure it takes effort to calm your nervous system, but far less effort than chronic survival mode.

Just a few free and easy practices that YOU can choose, YOU can do and YOU can benefit from.

And you need no one’s permission!

Add a song or mantra and you have a ritual that can become a habit!

Let THAT song play in your head!

Stop and smell the roses? 🌹

What song came to your mind??

Mission

The purpose of Better Diabetes Life is to provide support and inspiration to people dealing with diabetes so they are empowered to live healthier and happier in ways meaningful to them. Diabetes requires new skills to balance the stress and chaos of the disease. These can be learned through coaching strategies.

Support is available through individual coaching, online ecourses and inspirational blogs and social posts.
